Hong Leong Asia amongst leaders pushing to develop Singapore's external economy
19 November 2008 – Hong Leong Asia Ltd has solidified its position in the top 20 in a ranking of Singapore's Top 100 companies having the most revenues earned overseas. The ranking was the latest conducted by government agency, International Enterprise Singapore (IE).
In it, Hong Leong Asia, the manufacturing and building materials arm of Hong Leong Group, was 18th in the Singapore International (SI) 100 Ranking.
The same list also ranked companies by market segments and Hong Leong Asia came in 3rd in the ranking of Singapore's Top 10 companies with the most
revenue from China.
According to IE Singapore, the latest SI 100 Ranking released earlier this month lists local
companies by overseas revenues in 2007, while the Top 10 by market segment ranks the 10 leading companies with business in Africa, the Americas, China,Europe, India, the Middle East, North Asia, Oceania and Southeast Asia.
"We are pleased the Singapore International ranking has recognized Hong Leong Asia's efforts to internationalize its operations. Despite keen competition, we are confident of maintaining our status as a leader in our main market and of being among the leaders of Singapore’s external wing,"said Mr Teo Tong Kooi, CEO, Hong Leong Asia Ltd.
The latest ranking and the China market segment in particular comes at a time when that country is seen as one major growth engine in the world, amidst the most serious global economic downturn in decades.
Operating in a small state, Singapore companies have little choice but to compete with larger rivals abroad. IE Singapore encourages local companies to grow their businesses internationally. The agency also strives to increase awareness of the importance of going abroad, and to highlight the immense opportunities that lie in key overseas markets.
Hong Leong Asia's revenues hit a record $3.23 billion in 2007, up 30 per cent from the year before. With over 80 per cent of its business outside Singapore, the company's sterling performance enabled it to easily earn its 18th spot in the Top 100 ranking. For the first 9 months of 2008, Hong Leong Asia recorded an 18% increase in revenue to S$2.96 billion.
Backgrounder
Hong Leong Asia Ltd
From being Singapore's leading integrated building materials supplier to its current standing as one of the region's major manufacturing and distribution players, Hong Leong Asia's success is intricately linked to its diversification into the manufacturing and distribution industry in China and Southeast Asia. With over 90 per cent of its market beyond the shores of Singapore, it is well positioned to scale greater heights.
Hong Leong Asia has under its Consumer Products, Diesel Engines and Industrial Packaging arms, three leading China-based manufacturing businesses, namely Henan Xinfei (China's second largest manufacturer of refrigerators and freezers), China Yuchai Group (China's largest independent diesel engines manufacturer), and Rex Industrial Packaging Division (manufacturer of industrial packaging containers). GPac Technology, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group involved in green packaging, is an innovative manufacturer of pallets, which are used for industrial storage and transportation.
The Group, under its Building Materials Unit, owns and operates PT Karimun Granite, Southeast Asia's largest hard rock quarry operation located in the Northwest of the Indonesian island of Karimun. The quarry supplies marine rocks for reclamation works in Singapore and the surrounding region as well as raw materials for other Hong Leong Asia operations.
